President Depcw's Good Advice.

President Chauncey M. Depew Of the
New York Central railroad, in a recent
speech to the employees of his railroad,
said: mo man can stand still. The mo-
ment he tries to do nothing but eat his
meals and bottom chairs, he is no use. He
goes back. His opinion is not worth any
thing, and no man will pay him two cents
an hour. A man is like locomotive. Am
bition is the engineer. Hope is the fire.
man. The station where he stops to take
in coal and water are his home, tho
church, the society he keeps, the libraries
he uses. There are no breaks on this To-
connective. When he stops, the locomotive
must run back. How shall a man use
these two months Of the year which he
has at his disposals THERE'S a gentleman
who always steps in just here-a gentle
man whom have seen. He is called the
devil. Some men do not believe in the
personal devil. l do. l meet him every
day of my life. He is one of the most
cheerful fellows you ever knew"

HIS ONE HIGH HAT.
1he Only Occasion on Which Henry Ward
Beecher Wore a Silk Tile.

1he Only Occasion on Which Henry Ward
Beecher Wore Il Silk Tile.
Major Ponds attention was called to the
statement which has been published, and
which has been received with general
credence, that Mr.. Beecher never wore a
silk hat Mr.. Beecher's manager smiled
and then, according to the New York
Tribune, quickly exclaimed: "Only once.
must tell you about that. 1t was at Mr..
Beecher's house one afternoon, and we
were to leave the house at four o'clock in
order to catch train. Mr.. Beecher, ac-
cordlng to his custom on an afternoon,
had laid down for a nap l was in the
library, when, as the hour approached.
Mrs. Beecher called my attention to the
fact and asked where Mr.. Beecher was.
went up to call him, but he was not in
his room. l went down stairs and
thought I would get my hat,
which was silk one.
could not find it where I had left it, in the
hallway. Just then Mrs. Beecher called
my attention to the front of the house.
Mr.. Beecher had cardigan jacket which
he used to wear around the house at
times, and you can imagine that it was not
particularly becoming to his form. / went
to where Mrs. Beecher stood and looked
out. There in the middle of the street,
with a lot of children around him, was
Mr.. Beecher in his cardigan, my silk hat
o. his head, and stick in his mouth with
strings attached as children make bits,
and he was prancing up and down and
back and forth and playing horse with the
youngsters. You would have died a
laughing seeing that sight. Henry, ex-
claimed Mrs. Beecher, what on earth are
you doinga Do you know what sight you
ares You will lose the train
"Mr Beecher stopped, drew out his
watch-he always carried tirst-class
timekeeper-and replying as he put it
back, No, won't; I've got two minutes
yet off he galloped with the children at
his heels in high glee. He used up the
two minutes and we just caught the fer
ryboat in time. Many time have we
barely caught the last boat; but Mr..
Beecher's watch was as true as steel, and
he always calculated apparently to the
second. When he got on the ferryboat he
never stopped until he landed in the
pilot-housc. He had the key to them and
every pilot knew him, and there he would
go and stay until the boat got to her land

The Ladies' Favorite.

The newest fashion in ladies' hats will
doubtless cause flutter- of pleasurable ex-
element among the far sex. Ladies are
always susceptible to the changes of fash

Score One for the GaInin.

All who know Judge Bleckley and recall
his long, waving hair and beard will APP
preciate this story from the Augusta (Ga.)
Chronicle: He W ason his way to the Su-
preme Court one morning, when he was
accosted by a little street gamin, with an
exceedingly dirty face, with the customary
Shine, sir!" He was quite importunate,
and the judge, being impressed with the
oppressive untidiness of the boys face,
said: II don't want shine, but if you
will go wash your face I'll give you
dime" "All right, sir" swell, let me
see you do it." The boy went over to an
artesian hydrant and made his ablution.
Returning, he held out his hand for the
dime. The judge said: "Well, sir, you've
